  ABSTRACT: For over three decades, the interactions between countries have been influenced by intertwined dynamics of pragmatism in cooperation within the context of globalization. Activities inside the international system are shaped by various contexts, reflecting the complexities of their existence. Some states manage in addition to their own flow with a pragmatic approach to achieve maximum win in their interaction, while others remain in their reflective fate with little or almost no progress. This paper seeks to analyze how these varying outcomes are influenced by the application of the pragmatic approach, exploring the deeper philosophical implications of pragmatism in shaping international interactions. Analyzing pragmatism, the paper explores how pragmatic approaches can be inserted into the framework and encourage cooperation. The main aim is to shed light on the role of pragmatism in the reflexive behavior of a community or ethnic group, looking at the example of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia comparatively. The research method employed is a qualitative analysis combining historical review and theoretical research. The literature review was conducted, examining seminal works by key pragmatic philosophers such as Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and John Dewey. Nevertheless, the research does not focus on specific examples only, rather, it explores a basis for understanding on how pragmatic behaviors are reflected to navigate the complexities of identity while fostering cooperation and social cohesion through the foundational reflective analysis of pragmatism.
